Unreal. 1 inch away. Levels should have thrown it back instead of trying to set it down.

What makes you think Seth could mount a drive? He's completed 2 ****ing passes in the second half.

Way to go coaching staff! Kendal's ****ed around all game refusing to throw and PB went all out blitz foolishly and gave up a huge play to set up a TD and give Texas momentum. Incredible job of snatching a defeat from the jaws of victory.

Figures KB would lose this after the WSJ article about his Dad yesterday. Basically 3+ weeks to play for this and hardly anything new. We forget Ish is our greatest weapon and don't even look his way but maybe once or twice all game.

Hopefully Seth can win it for us with a few seconds left if UT scores.

Weird play there by Charlie Strong. Maybe that kicker prefers that hash mark.

This absolutely sucks for Seth and our returning players and of course our fans. This is all on KB IMO.

The last thing I want to do is lose to TX, but a loss this early might be a blessing in disguise for the program with the CFP rankings coming out along with the new articles and Baylor getting destroyed in the press.

As much as I want these players to get to the playoffs the pure hate spread nationwide about our University would be at an all time high if we continued to win this year and I'm not sure we could recover especially since it would probably scare off any great coach from coming here. Taking Baylor out of the national spotlight for a few weeks might help us find an elite coach and weed out the people who don't want to be here.

I just hope our guys can pull it together and finish strong this year.

I cannot figure out why Seth decided not to throw the ball there. He's been hit hard so maybe he's not mentally all there.

Worst ******* that my last ever ever se n by an offensive play caller. **** that guy
